Autoscribes LIMS has more than the usual applications, from lotteries to vehicle rentals, as Sophia Ktori discovers
Lonza Biosciences MODA system offers not just a paperless but a mobile and sanitisable way to carry out microbiology testing. Sophia Ktori reports
Alison Kennedy discusses why self-help will not be enough to overcome the challenge of XXscale in the HPC industry
Robert Roe investigates the use of simulation within the aerospace industry and the steps taken to reduce the complexity of software for engineers
Even a nation as advanced as the USA can field only two consortia capable of getting to exascale.Robert Roe reports
Today the US National Consortium for Data Science is an active and growing organisation. Stan Ahalt discusses how and why it came into being
Metadata is key to mastering the volumes of data in science and engineering, argues Bob Murphy, and tools are available to make it easier
As the Large Hadron Collider restarts at Cern, data storage has become as important to scientists as compute power. But, as Tom Wilkie reports, the innovative technologies being developed have much wider applications
In the second article in his series on future hardware for HPC, Robert Roe looks at alternatives to the x86, including server on a chip and OpenPower
Gloria Metrick highlights a significant trend in informatics software: the growing convergence between sample-centric laboratory and patient-centric clinical systems
Through the use of cutting-edge simulation, software engineers are developing innovative new wind energy technology and increasing the efficiency and durability of wind turbines. The drive to find sustainable energy sources is one of the most pressing concerns facing society.
Dame Sally Davies, the outgoing Chief Medical Officer for England, pulls no punches when it comes to the threat of antibiotic resistance. She has called for an ‘Extinction Rebellion-type’ response to it, describing it as ‘catastrophic’ and ‘as dangerous as climate change’.
The Pistoia Alliance has been pioneering initiatives that will support organisations as they work to enable and engage Fair (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles of data management and stewardship in their organisations.
Achronix and Bittware collaborate on a new FPGA designed for cloud, AI and machine learning applications, writes Robert Roe
By increasing the energy efficiency of a supercomputer scientists can save huge amounts of money over the total lifecycle of the system. With ever-increasing core counts and increasingly large supercomputers, the drive for increased computational power comes at a cost.
